For the love of reading....
Give a book. Give a future!
Participate in our reading program for young school children in Peoria.
Studies show that a child's reading skills and school performance improve if there are books in the home. Research cited by the Literacy Council shows that 61% of children living in poverty do not have a single book for children in the home. Getting books in the home is a real need for many of our students in Peoria.
Look! It's My Book! was founded to augment the work of the Adopt-a-School Program in Peoria, IL District 150. In the 2011-2012 year we will provide a book to each child in kindergarten through fourth grade six times a year. We currently serve ten schools, and hope to expand this to all of the elementary schools as we can. By helping children have access to books at home, we hope to strengthen learning and instill a life-long love of reading. Our many "Thank You" notes from the children indicate that it seems to be working!
Enjoy the video of one of our distributions. "Thank- You" notes follow!
